Marshall did not take Chu Tiange's ultimatum seriously at all. In fact, he believed that as long as the rebellion of the Women's Mutual Aid Association could be put down at lightning speed, the United States would still have the ability to compete with China, and even if they
It does not have the capital to conquer the Pacific again, but there is no problem in defending the homeland. As a chosen country, it also has a ready-made industrial and technological foundation. Given time, a vibrant new America can be active in the world again.
"Rayburn, don't blame me. Time waits for no man, and time waits for no man! The Chinese are aggressive, and we have no time to continue playing hide and seek with the girls from the Women's Mutual Aid Association." With this thought in his mind, Marshall raised his head and glanced out the window.
The eyes are firm.
Dozens of minutes later, in a simple conference room in this building, Marshall stood on the podium surrounded by generals such as Patton, MacArthur, and LeMay. "Gentlemen, I believe there are many of you.
As you all know, not long ago, our heroic air force officers perfectly foiled an air attack by the Chinese. In this battle, the Chinese dispatched a total of more than a hundred fighter planes to bomb military targets in coastal cities on our west coast.
After being detected by our ground radar station, I immediately instructed General Li Mei to block the attack. It lasted more than 40 minutes, and at the cost of more than 20 fighter planes, we shot down and damaged more than 80 enemy planes, and
The remaining enemy planes were successfully driven away. Gentlemen, based on the messages intercepted by the Strategic Intelligence Service during this period, we are now certain that China's air strike was the condition proposed by the Women's Mutual Aid Association to China by taking advantage of this visit to China.
One. Gentlemen, do you know what this means? Those ladies who call for peace rather than war are actually trying their best to plan war. They want to overthrow our legal government with the power of foreign invaders by betraying national interests! Yes
What is unbearable, gentlemen, are we going to sit back and wait for death? Never..."
The news that Rayburn entered this building and then disappeared has long spread to the ears of the participants. Therefore, the participants are very clear about the true meaning of this meeting and what position they should maintain at this time to be able to escape from this meeting.
Escape safely from the political whirlpool.
"... It is time to unite to end this farce and then fight China to the death, gentlemen! America needs you to give me higher power!" Finally, Marshall said.
Many of the attendees were senior officials of the current government who had fled from Washington, as well as some powerful figures in Congress. When Rayburn was in power, they were divided into two groups for various reasons, and now
, under Marshall's high-pressure policy, or in other words, the steel guns lined up under the building, they all wisely chose to acquiesce to the status quo and agreed to MacArthur's suggestion, which was to declare a national emergency in the name of Rayburn and appoint Marshall
As the official commander-in-chief of the armed services, he is responsible for all military activities in the United States.
Using an outnumbered air battle with deliberate calculations and unintentional calculations to confuse right and wrong, he successfully kidnapped the current U.S. government and ushered the United States into an unprecedented era of military government. No matter what else, the decisiveness shown by Marshall was better than that of Duroman and Rayburn.
It takes too much force.
At the same time, the news that the advance teaching group of the Women's Volunteer Army was attacked in the United States and suffered heavy casualties finally spread back to China. Like every time before, Ouyang Yun did not order the news to be blocked, but allowed the "Xuebingjun Times" to publish the first report.
Time will bring it to light.
At the regular military meeting of the Supreme Command that day, at the beginning of the meeting, Ouyang Yun was attacked by He Yingqin and others. It can be regarded as Ouyang Yun's own suicide, because after the analysis, the flight route of the Women's Volunteer Army advance teaching group, especially
It's the section within the United States, and there are problems no matter how you look at it.
"Everyone knows that I have been a strong opponent of the Women's Volunteer Army since its establishment. I admit that I am a representative of what is called male chauvinism outside. Now, I still say so. Letting women go to the battlefield will have a negative impact on our country.
For men, especially soldiers, it is simply a disgrace! Well, what happened has already happened. To explain my position again seems to be an afterthought. Commander, you are responsible for this matter. I think all of us present at the meeting are
I hope to hear a reasonable explanation. I think there are more than 200 officers above the rank of lieutenant, even women, who are the backbone of the force, right? It’s just gone. Commander, there must be an explanation, right?!"
After He Yingqin raised the issue, Feng Yuxiang also stood up.
As before, he first criticized He Yingqin, believing that the latter, as the second person in China's military and political circles, only focused on the casualties of Chinese female officers and never mentioned the female officers from other countries in the advance group. This behavior was too narrow-minded.
It was an insult to the great power of China. Then, he turned his gun on Ouyang Yun, and also began to question the rationality of this action, and tactfully suggested that Ouyang Yun should take full responsibility for this incident.
He Yingqin and Feng Yuxiang united against Ouyang Yun. This was the first time that this appeared in an internal meeting of the Supreme Command. Those who do not know the truth may be confused and confused. As for Li Tieshu, Li Zongren and Deng Xihou, etc.
As for humans, they know very well where the roots appear.
He Yingqin himself said that he is a male chauvinist, so would he care about the deaths and injuries of hundreds of female officers? Of course not, and probably not. There is also Feng Yuxiang, as a representative of the old stubborn, because Ouyang Yun is very active in women’s rights.
He had even had a big quarrel with Ouyang Yun, and he would certainly not have any negative emotions because of the deaths of hundreds of women. What was the problem?
The problem of course lies with Ouyang Yun. He has become more and more authoritarian. Not only He Yingqin and Feng Yuxiang think so, but also his best friend Li Tieshu has mentioned this issue in front of Mei Lanshu more than once. In his words
, I used to think that Ouyang Yun could still listen to opinions, but over the past year, Ouyang Yun has become more and more authoritarian and cannot listen to anyone's opinions at all, even if they are correct in his opinion.
Is Ouyang Yun dictatorial? This is of course a fact. But from his perspective, he does not think that his dictatorship is wrong. He even believes that the reason why he is dictatorial is that he was forced to do so.
It seems a bit unreasonable, but considering that he is a time traveler and has far more knowledge than other people, it seems to make sense. It is a bit hurtful to say it, but it is also true, that is, because of the narrow vision and narrow knowledge of He Yingqin and others,
It is no longer possible to keep up with his footsteps. For example, he talked about fighting in the Far East, such as fighting in the Middle East, and now supporting the women in the United States to carry out the wives' revolution. In the eyes of He Yingqin and others, this is simply a thankless thing, and it is purely
Looking for trouble. But is this really the case?
So it is conceivable that Ouyang Yun will continue to be a dictator for a period of time.
